BIO: Donald Sloan was born in Shreveport, Louisiana (USA) and attended Seagoville High School in the Dallas, Texas area. Over three seasons Sloan’s team was 93–10 and Sloan led Seagoville to the regional championship game as a senior. Sloan received two-time all-state recognition.

Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Sloan was listed as the No. 8 point guard and the No. 55 player in the nation in 2006. Sloan was recruited by Kansas, Oklahoma, Marquette, SMU, and Georgia Tech. He signed with Texas A&M and Coach Billy Gillispie in November 2005.

NBL EXPERIENCE

Donald Sloan made his NBL debut with the Adelaide 36ers at 33 years of age. He scored three points in his first game.

Donald Sloan signed with the Adelaide 36ers on August 20, 2020, as the team’s first import signing under new head coach Connor Henry, following Joey Wright’s departure after the 2019/20 season. Sloan joined a retooled roster that already included Jack McVeigh, Obi Kyei, Brendan Teys, Daniel Dillon, and Alex Mudronja, with additional key signings like Josh Giddey, Isaac Humphries, and Keanu Pinder during the offseason.

The 36ers had high hopes with Sloan and fellow import Tony Crocker finalizing the roster. However, Adelaide’s season began with a tough loss to Melbourne (65-89), prompting coach Henry to adjust the starting lineup. Sloan replaced Giddey at point guard in the next game, leading Adelaide to a 116-108 win over South East Melbourne. Isaac Humphries shone in that game, earning NBL Player of the Week honors with 25 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks.

Unfortunately, the season took a turn after a severe fall sidelined Giddey for the following game. Sloan returned to the starting lineup in a rematch loss to South East Melbourne and was soon benched again in favor of Giddey. Despite a season-high 20 points off the bench, Sloan’s reluctance to embrace his new role led to a mutual agreement for his release, allowing him to pursue other international opportunities.

Donald Sloan played one season in the NBL. He averaged 9 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 3 assists in 6 NBL games.
